Is he really gay? edit

He plays a gay man on Sex and the City and in Fever Pitch they allude to him possibly being gay as a running joke. Is he gay? Noam Chomsky — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.133.184 (talk) 06:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I wish to restore two citations. edit

deleted. Both go to broken links now.

I find nothing wrong with them, JUF is a well respected organisations. Govvy (talk) 22:03, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

What are you hoping to use these sources for? Both look like advocacy groups to me. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
In addition to being advocacy groups, both articles are gossipy puff pieces. Neither says Garson was born to a Jewish family. One just labels him a Jewish actor, and the other implies he is a Jewish actor because of the title "Jewish celebrity". Even if the sources were reliable and supported the material, creating a Jewish category is a violation of WP:BLPCAT as no source in the article says that Garson self-identifies with being Jewish. Being born to Jewish parents isn't enough, at least not for Wikipedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:03, 23 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Never-ending childhood edit

"he attended Camp Wekeela in Hartford, Maine as a child for 11 years"

That's what the source says: "Willie Garson, 48, star of White Collar and Sex and the City, spent 11 of his Wonder Bread years at Camp Wekeela on Bear Pond near Lewiston." I think the word child should not be used alone, because if he spent his time there for 11 years in a row, that means that he attended there well into his teenage years.
